Editorial note

The JBL LIVE 500BT headphones stand out with their impressive battery life of 33 hours, allowing for extended listening without interruption, which is ideal for regular users. Their binaural design and 50 mm drivers provide immersive sound quality, enabling full enjoyment of every musical detail.

The touch controls can sometimes prove to be imprecise, hindering ease of use. The Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity, while effective, is now surpassed by newer versions, which may limit range and connection speed with certain devices. Furthermore, the nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology may not offer the same longevity and performance as modern lithium-ion batteries. Finally, the lack of active noise-canceling features may restrict sound immersion in noisy environments. In terms of value for money, the JBL LIVE 500BT offers good features, but the absence of certain advanced options could be a drawback for some users.
